Gotta be more than running the streets
I'm surrounded by insanity
This can't be what You meant when You made me
This can't be what You meant when You
"I know you got some change
And I ain't even gon' lie, I'm tryna get a beer mayne"
That's what he said to the lady on the avenue
She shrugged her shoulders, said this dollar's 'bout what I could do
So, he took it with pride
Hard knock life, he just took it in stride
It's the way it go down in the place he reside
Win some, you lose some, it's a heck of a life
But something in his heart say that this ain't it
The Earth that God made is good, I know that it ain't this
Am I the scum of the city like they say I is?
I'm made in Your image, this is all I get?
Even though it's all that I see
Gotta be more than running the streets
I need to be free
Evil keeps talking to me
I'm surrounded by insanity
This can't be what You meant when You made me
This can't be what You meant when You
This can't be what You meant when You made me
When You made me, this can't be, when You made me
"I hear you're looking for a good time"
That's what she said before she hopped inside a guy's ride
Half an hour later, she get the money off the dresser
Stay high just to deal with all the pressure
She know her a**ets for purity in a casket
But view herself as a object of satisfaction
Just a toy to be used by boys
They get what they want, I get what I want, it's all joy
But something in the heart say that this ain't it
My body God made good, I know that this ain't it
Am I a tool to be used like they say I is?
Made in Your image, this is all I get?
Even though it's all that I see
Gotta be more than running the streets
I need to be free
Evil keeps talking to me
I'm surrounded by insanity
This can't be what You meant when You made me
This can't be what You meant when You
This can't be what You meant when You made me
This can't be what, this can't be what You made me
We look to the sky, like Lord, why? Where does our hope lie?
I see my homies die, or in a life of crime
Creation groans for more than distorted pictures
But never look to the painter for ways to fix it
He laid the answer clearly through all the scripture
Faith in Christ, rely on the Holy Spirit
Get it? God sent His Son
He was crushed so we can be washed in His blood
Rose and ascended, one day He'll return
For the faithful who believe, put your burdens on the Son
What we see now, this ain't it
There'll be Heaven on Earth, but it ain't this
Even though it's all that I see
Gotta be more than runnin' the streets
I need to be free
Evil keeps talking to me
I'm surrounded by insanity
This can't be what You meant when You made me
This can't be what You meant when You
This can't be what You meant when You made me
This can't be what, this can't be what You made me
Even though it's all that I see
Gotta be more than runnin' the streets
I need to be free
Evil keeps talking to me
I'm surrounded by insanity
This can't be what You meant when You made me
This can't be what You meant when You
This can't be what You meant when You made me
